# Family day activities for employees and their families

A company family day mixes ages from six to seventy, so the activities have to be simple to join and easy to leave. Phone Housie for the grandparents, arcade games for the children with the company logo as the coin, a mosaic made of every family’s photo, and a quiz where families play as teams.

Written for planners and agencies choosing for a client: what to run, when, for how many. 6 games, each playable in your browser from this page.

## Running it across a day

Keep a wall (mosaic or wish tree) going from the gate, run short arcade windows every hour with small prizes, and gather everyone for one quiz or Housie before lunch. Children play on a parent’s phone just as well.
